Spring and Autumn I Am King

"Although Zhibo's conditions are excessive, it's not that there is no room for negotiation. It is better to send an envoy to Xintian to plead and ask for some tolerance... Of course, it is impossible to divide the Zhao family into three."

Today Zhao Yang is still unwell. He didn't want the ministers to see his weak appearance, so he just let Zhao Wuxi preside over the meeting after he showed up.

Zhao Wuxi announced the "ultimatum" from Jiangdu, and Zhao Luo, a doctor in Wen County who was frightened by this thing, said something timidly. This pedantic opinion, Zhao Wuxi just curled his lips contemptuously in his heart, it seems that Wen County really has to change its owner.

"How can the Zhao family bow to Zhibo!"

A roar drowned out his voice, Zhao Wuxi followed the voice, and it was Ma Shou doctor Zhao Yi who roared: "To accept Zhi Bo's excessive demands is to show weakness, and Ma Shou's sons and daughters have been killed in countless battles. Returning to Jinyang with the bones of the soldiers, what is the value of so many people dying on the battlefield?"

Ma Shou is located in the northern country, the land is barren and there are many mountains and forests. Zhao Yi has always wanted to move to the plain area. Now that the Zhao clan has captured most of the Hanoi, there is hope for his new territory. Once the Zhao clan accepts the conditions on the silk book, he can Means he can't get any benefit in this war.

"It's a good thing to be able to stop the war...but it depends on what conditions. If we agree to harsh conditions today, the Zhao family will be torn apart, and we can't guarantee the reputation of Zhibo. Maybe we just let Nanshan go, they will once again. Collusion with the remnants of Fan and Bank of China, took up arms and wanted to destroy the Zhao clan." Zhou She, the writer, stopped writing and said.

"This is not only the condition of Zhibo, but also the order of the monarch. The order of the monarch is like the sky... If you directly disobey, the Zhao family will be accused by him of being the main culprit and a traitor." Zhao Luo replied weakly, he had been there. After a few battles, I was frightened by the tragic scene. I wished the war would end soon. Although I knew that the other party's conditions were harsh, I still hoped to talk about it first.

Wu Xie didn't express his opinion first. After observing the reactions of the crowd for a while, the attitude of the ministers was already obvious. Most were indignant at the ultimatum, but at the same time a little worried about violating the monarch's orders.

When the time was right, Zhao Wuxi looked at Yang Hu, he was in the crowd. The person who scorns the most loyal to the monarch.

"Two or three sons!" Yang Hu understood, he shouted loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the house.

"I'm not from Jin, the onlookers are clear, listen to me and tell me what I think about the monarch and ruling!" He spat on the ground very rudely. It caught everyone's attention in the hall.

"I heard a sentence from Confucius, the elder of the state of Lu, that the ruler entrusts his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers serve the ruler with loyalty. This silk book sent by the Marquis of Jin to the Zhao family is a disorderly order, a tyranny! You can't follow it! Not to mention the ruler's order. It's true, but I'm a foreigner, I only know the Zhao family, I don't know there is Jinjun!"

Wang Sunqi, who was in command of the chariots, also said: "Yes, we are ministers of the Zhao clan, not the officials of the Marquis of Jin. Private ministers only serve the master, and don't know anything about the rest. When the master speaks war, he fights, and when the master speaks peace, he reconciles."

Then they all stood up and expressed their will, hoping that only Zhao Wuxie's life would be obeyed. Because the pledge of allegiance was held by the river just yesterday, Zhao Yang's servants also began to give their allegiance to Wuxi.

But I heard Zhao Wuxi say slowly after the short case: "The Zhao family has been in the Jin Dynasty for the twelfth generation, and they have been loyal and good from generation to generation. It stands to reason that my father and son will not violate the orders of the monarch..."

Without waiting for everyone to speak, he suddenly changed his voice and said, "But this silk book. I'm afraid not a single word is the meaning of the monarch himself."

Yang Hu said loudly, "What the gentleman means is that this silk book is actually a manipulative act of Zhibo?"

"Yes, now the imperial court has the exclusive power of Zhishi, Fan, Zhongxing Yuxie and other thieves. They have colluded with foreign enemies to harm Zhao's Zhongliang and harm the country's society, and the emperor is often ill and loses his mind.

After revealing this "fact" to everyone, Zhao Wuxi stood up. More and more excited.

"There is a saying that is good, the six relatives are not in harmony, there is filial piety; the country is in chaos, and there are loyal ministers. As a loyal minister, the Zhao family is the hope of thousands of people in the country. Not only can they not surrender to the treacherous evil, but also firmly reject Zhibo's delusions and continue the past. Strategy."

"Although Zhibo was able to collude with Qi, Zheng, and Wei, they each had their own thoughts and would never act in unison, which gave us a chance to defeat each other! Don't forget, the Zhao clan also has friends, Lu Guo, Han clan, The princes of Song, Cao, and Sishang are enough to compete with each other. After sweeping Dongyang, they can march westward to Jiangdu, kill the villains on the side of the king, and give Jin a bright future!"

He raised his arms and shouted with bright eyes, while the ministers knelt down one after another, exposing their right arms to show their will.

"Put the treacherous evil, and the Qingjun side!"

Not only Yang Hu, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, but Wang Sunqi, Zheng Long, Zhao Yi, and Zhou She, who were the staunch main fighting faction, stood together, then knelt down and shouted the arrogant slogan of the ministers blatantly disobeying the order. It resounds in the palaces of Wenxian County:

"Put the treacherous evil, and the Qingjun side!"

"Put the treacherous evil, and the Qingjun side!"

……

"To punish the treacherous and evil, to the side of the Qingjun?"

A few days later, in Pingyang, the main town of the Han clan, listening to the sweaty grandson Han Hu narrating Zhao clan's "Qingjun side", Han Buxin abruptly stood up. this slogan.

"The Zhao family was determined to fight against Zhibo to the end. After Zhao Wuxi left Wenxian, he went to Yewang to find me again. He grievedly recounted that Zhibo monopolized the state, detained the monarch, framed the Zhao family, and asked the Han family to do it. Continue to stand on the same front as Zhao, what does your grandfather think?"

Han Buxin said slowly: "Originally, Zhi Bo's name was justifiably persecuting Zhao's family. If Zhao's family refused to accept it, it would be a blatant rebellion against Jin. At that time, Han's family would be in a dilemma. Because in Jin Qing, whether it is Zhao, Fan, Bank of China or Wei Shi, in fact, have all committed monarchy or arrogance, but I, the Han Shi, have respected the office for hundreds of years. After all, we are the only remaining line of the Quwo office..."

Han Hu said hesitantly: "Zhibo, with the honor of ruling, combined the prestige of the office, the strength of the Jiangdu people, and the remnants of Fan and Zhongxing in the west of Taihang, and can indeed make up twice as much as Zhao's in Jin. military power..."

"If you add the Wei family, it's triple..." Han Buxin laughed, "but I don't think Wei Mando intends to do anything lightly. In fact, Zhibo also sent messengers, and he promised that as long as the Han family two If you don’t help each other, you can enjoy the Hanoi that is currently occupied. After the Zhao family is destroyed, you can even share some of the benefits of the Han family. And there are people from the Wei family who want to ask the old man to stay put. Han and Wei are neutral and protect each other. ."

Han Hu was taken aback. If this is the case, the situation will change from the overall dominance of the Zhao family to a difficult situation... Needless to say, in the west of Taihang, once the Qi Kingdom enters the game, it is also a very troublesome opponent, and the Zhao family may be in the game. This two-sided pincer is slowly consumed and collapsed.

He gritted his teeth, took a few steps closer to his knees, and said with a straight face, "Maybe grandfather finds Zhibo's promise and Wei's suggestion very tempting, but the boy thinks that although Zhibo's troops were numerous and allies were numerous at first, he would In the end, it is the Zhao family who can win!"

Han Buxin smiled and helped his grandson: "You really have confidence in the Zhao family~www.wuxiahere.com~ The boy fought side by side with the Zhao family on the Hanoi battlefield for several months, and he still knows them well. Fan Shi and Xun Yue Po Chaoge, who could have imagined it before? But Zhao Shi did it. Zhao Wuxi, he is a hero who can make the impossible possible, and Zhao Shi will never take it lightly in his hands. fail."

Han Buxin nodded: "It's also thanks to your judgment that the Han family can get a large territory... In fact, I also hesitated, I don't have the slightest trust in Zhibo, but with the Wei family to neutralize and protect each other, it seems that The safest. But after thinking about it again and again, I found that now the Han family is too deep to escape. After all, the Han family’s territory is no better than the Wei family. We cross Taihang and have a lot of benefits in the east. At both ends, in the end, Zhisheng will turn against Han, and Zhao Sheng will punish our betrayal..."

"What does grandfather plan to do?"

"Openly rebelling against the monarch is not good, because if the name is not right, the words will not go well, and if the words are not in line, nothing will happen. But since the Zhao clan's son is smart enough to sacrifice the Qing Jun's side, the Han clan may continue to follow them."

Han Buxin said sternly: "Go back and tell Zhao Wuxi that the old man's condition is that when the Qingjun side succeeds one day, the Zhonghang family in several counties west of Taihang and Luhundi will be handed over to the Han family! In addition, the east of Taihang will be handed over to the Han family! In the war, the Han family will no longer participate. I will protect the west side for him. The territorial forces will be retracted back to the city to garrison. I don't want the Han family to be beaten to the core after the war is won...""
